How many do you think will turn up with it being quid a kid day?
Last match of last season against Norwich you had 36,000 but the last home match against Coventy you had 16,000.
What kind of attendance will there be tomorrow ?

I was thinking more like 25,000.
Would you consider 22,000 a success ?

not really but you have to take into account that for every kid for a quid ,you need an adult paying full whack taking his son or daughter -and thats the problem ,its way too expensive

Wednesday will do well to get 20,000 plus tomorrow, it may be kids for a quid but you need paying adults to want to turn up and bring 'em. The club is at last trying to lure back some of the missing fans though, so it's a step in the right direction. With regards to the sty tomorrow, I think it will be empty the little red and white bacon rashers are at Ipswich :thumbsup:

I had to laugh today when we were passing the lane, that Hotel or whatever it is at the side of the lane looks so out of place its untrue.
A sign of the time's in Sheffield these days with some of the pointless buildings being erected.

pointless buidings :loopy:, sheffield suffers from a large shortage of hotel beds . try getting one in midweek . good bussiness I think . why do you think so many hotels have been built lately ?.

on topic , 24000 , just a wild guess .

I can't see us getting much more than 18,000.

The "kids for a quid" never makes a massive difference to the gate - the way they've done it means that they still have to go with an adult paying full price, and it's not available on the day. The cheap tickets were only on sale until yesterday, which meant people would have to make their way to the ticket office in the week, which isn't easy for a lot of people who are working.

The only way to get the gates up consistently is to slash all ticket prices permanently, not just introduce occasional offers which still have strings attached.

18,800 :o Up a couple of thousand on the Coventry match but still dissapointing I would think considering it turned out to be such a good 2nd half

29-11-2008, 16:46
its dissapointing but i'll be more bothered if the £10 for adults games arent near the 25k or more mark. kids for a quid arent really big pullers seems the adult is still paying full amount

MR BENN
29-11-2008, 17:01
i expected a few more than 18,883 today with it being ankle biters for a quid. i was way off yesterday with my prediction of 22,000. its worrying to say the least that the crowd today was so low,even though its very cold and near christmas. i think without the offers today it may have been around 15,000

Not all of us; just the Owls fans who are more interested in your team than ours but still call themselves Unitedites for who-knows-what reason. CanadaOwl is a long-standing one such.

NERVY-OWL
29-11-2008, 17:03
i would say it would of been just over 16k without. as i said before, i will be more bothered if we dont get a masive improvement with the adult tickets for £10 offer

NERVY-OWL
29-11-2008, 17:06

The crowd would have been the same as last week without this incentive, so imo it worked, ok we would have liked a few more there, but an extra couple of thousand was ok considering the freezing weather.

I was surprised Norwich brought so few, Coventry brought more last week.

There are lots of teams suffering with dwindling attendances, southamptons are on last seasons average down over 5.000 fans

He really should re-enter the Sheffield forum and take back some of the verbal diarreah he was dishing out.

I've made a number of attempts to engage him (Cheeky Bandit) in friendly dialogue, including even offering genuine sympathy after they were beaten by their most bitter rivals.

I still have a lot of time for Charlton and what they have achived in the last eighteen years. I know quite a few decent Charlton fans, and wish them well as long as it is not at our expense. I recognise how their kids benefit from Charlton's work in the community.

Also, I along with supporters of many other clubs throughout the land, gave them support during their "Back to the VAlley" campaign.

But his ( Cheeky Bandit's) attitude on here has won neither him or his club any friends.

Forget about him CB. Don't tar them all with the same brush.
